The Bonsai Tree Garden

Properly cultivated, bonsai trees can be works of art all by themselves. However, a bonsai tree garden with a lush setting will only accent the bonsai's traditional beauty. How, then, do you cultivate such beauty in your bonsai? Although it may seem very complex, it is actually very easy to do. Once you are familiar with how to do it and get into the "flow," creating a beautiful bonsai tree garden is not that difficult at all. First of all, place bonsai trees where they can be seen. If you hide them
in a corner, they will likely become dry. Bonsai trees also lneed their fair share of sunlight and air. Each part of the tree should get what it needs in air and light, which is essential for a balanced growth. If you look at several bonsai tree gardens, you'll see that the majority of them have been influenced by Japanese culture. A bonsai tree that has had Japanese influence should greatly contribute to the overall appearance of the bonsai tree collection. And although it can be expensive, it does not have to cost a lot of money. When you display the various bonsai trees, you should do it at eye level by "staging" or by using a bench, to allow for a better view. You can also set plants on individual wooden plinths, or fencing posts made into separate tree stands. These are great and very affordable alternatives to the benching style. They can also be used to show off a single bonsai species or several different groups. Japanese accessories such as lanterns can be added to give it a more oriental flavor. Most of all, however, plants are the major focus of the Japanese style bonsai tree garden. If you want to put in more types of bonsai, you can also grow the following in addition to the Japanese bonsai trees. You can grow maples, pines or bamboo. These "architectural" plants have appealed that will remain constant throughout the year. You can also place stepping stones in your bonsai tree garden. These are both functional and ornamental. They will also provide a pathway that will help visitors stay to a certain course and provide a decorative element that is at the same time natural and adds an aesthetic appeal. You can choose either man-made or natural stones, but either will look natural and realistic. They are inexpensive and are available in most gardening shops. For some charming finishing touches to your bonsai tree garden, choose grass, dragons, Buddhas or other accessories. They can further add impact to your collection and make your garden even more enjoyable.
